The box for this case gives off a dark sense, with its cloudy looking background and "scary" Raven text. The box also has a front shot and inside case shot to let you know what this case has in store for you. There is also an introduction of how this case came into existence, and below that a list of all the special features of this case.

When you open the box, the typical Styrofoam that surrounds the top and bottom of the case to help protect it during shipping greets you. Instead of the typical plastic bag that surrounds most cases, a cloth bag to better protect it from scratches surrounds this case. Be warned the combination of fabric and Styrofoam rubbing against the case gives off one heck of a static shock.

Included with the case is a box of hardware accessories. From left to right you get the Raven RV02 Manual, which by the way is one heck of a manual. It shows off so many features, and potential features that just by looking at the case in person you would never suspect to be there. There is a bag of all types of screws needed for mounting various pieces of hardware. Below is a heavy-duty Velcro cable strap for organizing your cables, as well as a 4-pin molex to 3x 3-pin fan adapter (perfect for the three fans at the bottom of the case). There is also a.. um, well... we aren't sure what that little square thing is for, as it wasn't mentioned in the manual. Below are more cable ties for securing cables into place. Next is a Solid State Drive "SSD" mounting bracket, which will just as fine work with any 2.5" drive. Below are 5.25" to 3.5" mounting brackets and a 5.25" to 3.5" bay adapter. And, last but not least are two adapters for mounting a triple 120mm radiator onto the three fans at the base of the case. Now, with the box of goodies overviewed we can move onto the case itself.
